Sometimes the best Christian music ends up being the work that is most accessible, the comfortable musings of someone who is successful in their craft because they know how to reach out to people without any off-putting pretension. The 11 tracks here are a prime example: A group of songs that are easy to listen to but never overly simple, giving the listener credit and allowing for some leeway to peel back the layers. While the songwriting approach is fairly straightforward, the underlying rhythm and melodic elements are key in the essence of the sound, lending bits and pieces that add a level of importance to the whole. The lyrics are the same, fitting perfectly with the music and not occupying too much space in the whole scheme. The result is a collective balance and confidence that comes through structurally and creatively in these songs, posing ideas to the listener by maintaining an environment that is warm and welcoming.
